World's biggest airport:
Taken literally as the airport which takes up the most land mass, this is the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It takes up some 81 square miles - an area larger than many cities.
World's longest runway:
The world's longest runway is Groom Lake (Area 51!)... a real whopper at 27,000ft!
